Given information
mass of atomic nucleus=
initial velocity of the nucleus=
mass of target particle=
initial velocity of target particle=
Angle at which target particle is scattered=
The collision is elastic.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
From part (b) we obtained
Final velocity of nucleus will be along y-axis and will be=
and final velocity of target particle is along x axis and is =
Initial kinetic energy of the system can be calculated as
